Pennycress honey mustard

October 7, 2012 Erica M. Davis 6 Comments

I’ve done it, Igor! I’ve created a recipe to deal with that monster who’s been pounding down my door for one. Namely, my mom. My mom is a pennycress honey mustard-eating monster. My idea for field pennycress (Thlaspi arvense) honey mustard was born first of an attempt to make … [Read more...]
